Detailed Description

An instance of the CubicSpline class implements a function \(y=f(x)\) composed of three cubic spline segments of the form \(y=ax^3+bx^2+cx+d\).

The function is constrained as follows:

• the function is defined only for \(x\) values in the interval [0,1]
• the function goes through the four points \((0,0),\,(x_1,y_1),\,(x_2,y_2),\,(1,1)\) with \(0<x_1<x_2<1\), where the outer points are fixed and the inner points are provided as arguments to the constructor
• the function's first and second derivatives are continuous at the inner points
• the function's second derivative is zero at the outer points ("natural bounding conditions")
• regardless of the form dictated by the spline segments, the \(y\) value is always clipped to the interval [0,1]
